DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is a revision of a renewal application for stipends, tuition, and additional support for a pre-doctoral Training Program in Social Development at the University of Maryland. The program will focus on multi-level training in social development, including socio-affective, social-cognitive, social neuroscientific, social-relational, and social-cultural processes, and will include normal and clinical populations. We propose to train a total of 12 trainees over the five year period of the grant, using funds from NIH and matching funds from the University of Maryland. The training program will provide scientific knowledge and research experience in the area of social development that prepares pre-doctoral trainees for positions as faculty members in institutions of higher education and investigators in dedicated research institutions. The program involves 9 core faculty and 14 affiliated faculty. Core faculty members are from the Developmental Science specialization within the Department of Human Development. Affiliated faculty members include scholars in the departments of Human Development, Statistics, and Psychology at the University of Maryland as well as from off-campus institutions (e.g., Georgetown University, George Mason University, NICHD, NIMH). Pre-doctoral trainees are enrolled in the doctoral program in the Department of Human Development. Trainees conduct research and gain knowledge of social development through course work, statistical and methodological work, research apprenticeships, and exposure to cutting edge research and scholar/scientists from a variety of fields in a weekly Center for Children, Relationships, and Culture seminar series. The relevance of this research for public health regarding children's social development is multi-fold. Trainees will be trained to conduct research and teach courses in higher education on the etiology and developmental course of adaptive and maladaptive social behavior in a variety of areas. Research topics include factors associated with both risk and protective factors for healthy social development such as the development of social, emotional, and motivational competence; the development of strong, healthy interpersonal relationships; experiences with bullying, aggression, social withdrawal, victimization, and social rejection; the role of moral judgments and prejudice in exclusion; and the roles of parent-child and teacher-child relationships in developmental outcomes. Thus, the program is strongly related to public health in that the courses, the research, the expertise developed as a function of completing the program, and the topics covered in the training bear on fostering, faciliating, and maintaining the healthy development of individuals.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案是对马里兰大学社会发展博士前培训项目的津贴、学费和额外支持续签申请的修订。该计划将侧重于社会发展的多层次培训，包括社会情感、社会认知、社会神经科学、社会关系和社会文化过程，并将包括正常和临床人群。我们建议使用 NIH 的资金和马里兰大学的配套资金，在五年的资助期内培训总共 12 名学员。该培训计划将提供社会发展领域的科学知识和研究经验，为博士前培训生担任高等教育机构的教员和专门研究机构的调查员做好准备。该项目涉及 9 名核心教师和 14 名附属教师。核心教员来自人类发展系的发展科学专业。附属教职人员包括马里兰大学人类发展、统计和心理学系以及校外机构（例如乔治城大学、乔治梅森大学、NICHD、NIMH）的学者。博士前培训生参加人类发展系的博士课程。学员通过课程作业、统计和方法论工作、研究学徒以及在每周的儿童、关系和文化中心系列研讨会中接触前沿研究和来自各个领域的学者/科学家，进行研究并获得社会发展知识。这项研究对于儿童社会发展方面的公共卫生具有多重意义。学员将接受培训，在高等教育中开展研究并教授有关各个领域适应性和适应不良社会行为的病因学和发展过程的课程。研究主题包括与健康社会发展的风险和保护因素相关的因素，例如社交、情感和动机能力的发展；发展牢固、健康的人际关系；遭受欺凌、攻击、社交退缩、受害和社会排斥的经历；道德判断和偏见在排斥中的作用；以及亲子关系和师生关系在发展结果中的作用。因此，该计划与公共卫生密切相关，因为课程、研究、作为完成该计划而开发的专业知识以及培训涵盖的主题都与培养、促进和维持个人的健康发展有关。
